Oops! That Etruscan warrior prince was actually a warrior princess [View all]
Last month, archaeologists announced a stunning find: a completely sealed tomb cut into the rock in Tuscany, Italy. The untouched tomb held what looked like the body of an Etruscan prince holding a spear, along with the ashes of his wife. Several news outlets reported on the discovery of the 2,600-year-old warrior prince.
But the grave held one more surprise. A bone analysis has revealed the warrior prince was actually a princess.
Judith Weingarten, an alumna of the British School at Athens, noted the switch on her blog, titled "Zenobia: Empress of the East." [See Photos of the Unsealed Etruscan Tomb]
